Ive been doing some reading and ive seen references to stopPropagation();, however something ive noticed, is that even if i put a general alert in the onmousedown in the image tag, it does not execute.

Any tips on how to get the function to execute in firefox as well as stop that menu from popping up?

Scripts that disable the context menu don't work by default in Firefox. The option for this is under Content > Javascript.

If you don't want people stealing your images, don't put them on the internet. Disabling right click will probably piss your visitors off. A better solution is to watermark your images. I suppose you could also put the image in a Flash container or put a transparent div over the image.
